Abstract

Abstract Mandelonitrile- beta -D-glucuronic acid is produced by condensing a mandelic amide with a tri-O-acetyl methyl ester of glucuronic acid and then reacting the product with acetic anhydride to produce the tri-O-acetyl methyl ester of mandelonitrile- beta -D-glucuronic acid. The protecting acetyl groups may be removed and the barium salt formed by reacting with barium hydroxide, which salt, when treated with sulfuric acid, will yield the mandelonitrile- beta -D-glucuronic acid. This compound, as well as methacrylonitrile beta -D-glucuronic acid may be used in the treatment of bacterial infections having beta -glucuronidase activity.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 106 words
A method for the production of mandelonitrile-β D-glucuronic acid, comprising: condensing mandelic amide with methyl (tri-O-acetyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl)halide-uronate to form the methyl ester of mandelic amide-tri-O-acetyl-β-D-glucuronic acid; reacting the product of said condensing step with acetic anhydride at a sufficient temperature and time to produce the methyl ester of mandelonitrile-tri-O-acetyl-β-D-glucuronic acid; adding to the product of said reacting step a sufficient quantity of barium hydroxide to produce a white precipitate; separating said precipitate; treating said precipitate with a sufficient quantity of sulfuric acid until precipitation of barium sulfate is completed; removing the supernatant from the product of said treating step; and drying said supernatant to obtain mandelonitrile-β-D-glucuronic acid.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 106 words
A method for the production of mandelonitrile-β D-glucuronic acid, comprising: condensing mandelic amide with methyl (tri-O-acetyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl)halide-uronate to form the methyl ester of mandelic amide-tri-O-acetyl-β-D-glucuronic acid; reacting the product of said condensing step with acetic anhydride at a sufficient temperature and time to produce the methyl ester of mandelonitrile-tri-O-acetyl-β-D-glucuronic acid; adding to the product of said reacting step a sufficient quantity of barium hydroxide to produce a white precipitate; separating said precipitate; treating said precipitate with a sufficient quantity of sulfuric acid until precipitation of barium sulfate is completed; removing the supernatant from the product of said treating step; and drying said supernatant to obtain mandelonitrile-β-D-glucuronic acid.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 2 words
Methacrylonitrile-β-D-glucuronic acid.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 2 words
Methacrylonitrile-β-D-glucuronic acid.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 30 words
A method in accordance with claim 1 wherein said condensing step is accomplished in solution in quinoline, phenol, methyl nitrile or methyl cyanide catalyzed by silver oxide or siver carbonate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 25 words
A method in accordance with claim 1 wherein said condensing step is accomplished in aqueous acetone solution in the presence of sodium or potassium hydroxide.
